All in all this project tries to cover the concepts of risk management from an actual project perspective. As we started to develop the examples for this project I started thinking about how I would present them. I was developing the tracking sheets and could only think of showing the progress of the chart. I thought that it would be a redundant exercise in showing chart after chart tracking the progress of the project. So I came up with the idea of making a journal to record the progress to give the charts some purpose. As I started writing this journal I attached the supporting documents and it all started coming together. Steven and I hashed out some details and then it was a matter of putting it all together with the final touches.
I feel good that this project is unlike the others in that it is a targeted exercise. I would have preferred a few more weeks to devote to it and add a lot more detail; however, in the short time that we had to complete it I think it covers the material very well. We tried to throw some problems and issues that the project team had to deal with and I didn’t want it to end in a neat tidy package. Ending on 83% of the risks covered is a realistic situation that every project goes through. I didn’t concentrate on the project parameters much I just wanted to put the emphasis on the risk portion.
In the end the fictional company would have taken the risk items and addressed them at the project review that they were going to have after the project implementation got underway. I believe the issues that were left open would have been closed out and accounted for. I am sure there would have been more identified after everything got underway.
